Rep. Michael Grimm Surrenders to FBI

Rep. Michael Grimm Surrenders to FBI to Face Criminal Charges: Officials

New York Rep. Michael Grimm surrendered to the FBI Monday morning and was arrested on federal criminal charges, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the case.

Grimm is believed to be facing charges related to a private business deal that he made prior to being elected to Congress that involved an Upper East Side health food restaurant.

He's expected to be arraigned in federal court later Monday.

The exact charges have not been made public, but last week Grimm's lawyer, William McGinley, confirmed in a statement that prosecutors have said they intend to file criminal charges.

Not about the scamming part, that's pretty routine, but criminal charges for a sainted, family values, GOP Congressman? will wonders never cease?
